Chapter 867 Confrontation Game
The sun disappeared over the Forbidden Forest, and the forest without sunlight began to become eerie and weird. There was a slight sound of footsteps in a place where there was no one, and the rotten leaves on the ground showed obvious signs of being trampled on. There was no sign of anyone.
George Weasley took a deep breath and skillfully hid himself behind a big tree.
He was waiting, waiting for the footsteps approaching from not far away.
At this moment, the four are engaged in an unfair confrontation.
Three to one.
Albert singled out Fred, George and Lee Jordan.
Both sides can only use some simple spells, and the condition for victory is to remove the opponent's ability to resist, that is, to completely subdue the opponent.
George still remembers the excited expressions on their faces when Albert proposed to conduct confrontation training after writing the "Guide to Survival in the Wild".
Then, they were taught a harsh lesson by reality.
The three sadly discovered that even if they joined forces, they would not be Albert's opponent.
Albert's spell casting was astonishingly fast. Just using the simplest spells, he easily beat them to pieces. What made the three even more depressed was that Albert had been training with them with a wand that was not very easy to use.
The three of them still lost miserably despite the opponent's serious release of water. It's no wonder that they are very depressed, because the gap between the two sides is so large that it makes people desperate.
However, the fighting skills of the three have also been greatly improved in the confrontation with Albert.
George now dares to say that most of the students in the school will not be the opponents of the three of them.
However, Albert's progress was faster than them. His combat skills became more and more proficient, and he could always use various simple spells to restrict their actions, and then disarm their wands all at once.
Later, the confrontation training between the two sides was upgraded, and Fred, George, and Lee Jordan were allowed to use the illusion spell, and they could use the advantage of an ambush to sneak attack Albert.
That was the most exciting moment for the three, because they finally defeated Albert.
Although the method used is indeed despicable, it is within the scope allowed by the rules. If the enemy is a dark wizard, it is not despicable.
Just like what Albert said, the body of a wizard is actually very fragile. It is not necessary to use powerful magic to defeat the opponent. As long as you defeat the opponent and release his wand, most wizards will lose their ability to resist and control them. The opponent's hands, and prohibiting him from using apparition, can basically make the target completely lose the ability to resist.
If you want to apparate, you will start contacting this semester and get relevant certificates.
According to Albert, after mastering apparition next year, they can also learn the skills of integrating apparition into battle.
To be honest, George doubts that the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic will not be able to defeat Albert. Although he has never used any superb magic in the confrontation, it is undoubtedly a skill to easily subdue the opponent with simple magic.
The footsteps are getting closer.
All three of them clenched their wands tightly, held their breath, and prepared to find a chance to cast a spell on Albert.
Their plan is very simple. Some people make bait to attract Albert's attention, and others take the opportunity to attack Albert.
However, the plan always lags behind the changes.
Suddenly a gust of wind blew in front of the three of them, and a large number of dead leaves flew towards them, briefly covering the sight of the three of them.
George felt bad when the wind was blowing the dead leaves.
The next moment, he heard Fred's voice. The unlucky guy was directly crushed on a tree trunk by the strong wind, and temporarily lost the ability to resist.
Lee Jordan, who was going to act as a bait, was stunned. When he reacted, he saw a red light shining in front of his eyes.
Lee Jordan was directly sent flying by the spell, and fell unconscious on the ground.
George groaned vilely in his heart, but he knew it was allowed, because the Flying Sand and Rock Curse was indeed a very common spell.
The strong wind stopped, and the footsteps were still approaching. George quietly raised his wand, looking for an opportunity to strike.
There is only one chance, knock down the opponent, they win, if the spell falls or is blocked, they lose, because Albert will not give him another chance to sneak attack.
At the moment Albert appeared, George opened and closed his lips slightly, and directly cast a stun spell on Albert.
As long as the spell can hit the target, the opponent can immediately lose their resistance. After some training, George believes that his stun spell is powerful enough to knock down most wizards.
Of course, Albert is also included.
Unfortunately, the sneak attack was unsuccessful.
Being attacked by three people many times, Albert also developed a strong fighting intuition. He reacted extremely quickly in the face of sneak attacks and directly avoided George's stun spell.
Seeing that the spell failed, George cursed in a low voice. He knew that his position was exposed, and if he failed to knock down the enemy in a sneak attack, it meant that he was going to be unlucky.
In the case where a head-on confrontation cannot be won, retreat is undoubtedly the best choice.
As for Tou Tie rushing out to fight recklessly with the opponent, it is obviously not a good idea.
If the opponent is just an ordinary rookie, rushing out to suppress the opponent with arrogance may catch the opponent by surprise, but if the opponent is Albert, he will definitely be knocked down immediately.
Because they have had similar experiences.
In this case, the three of them should directly suppress Albert with the number of spells, but George is alone now.
Unfortunately, he obviously had no chance, because a white light suddenly exploded in front of him, stabbing him so hard that he couldn't open his eyes, so he had to release magic towards the bright light in front of him, trying to stop Albert's charge, but this trick obviously didn't work , because Albert didn't rush over at all, but waited for the flash to disappear, and cast a spell directly at his position, because the white light just now completely exposed George.
After being hit by the spell, George stiffened and collapsed backward.
So far, the confrontation is over.
The three were completely defeated.
"Oh, I just said this tactic won't work." Fred grumbled and walked to George, who was completely immobile, and helped him remove the full-body restraint spell on his body, and stretched out his hand towards him, pulling him up from the ground.
"Who let you be subdued so quickly? What do you do if you leave me alone?" George said angrily, "You can't respond flexibly. If you encounter a dark wizard, are you planning to 'give away the head' to the other party?"
"Who would have thought that Albert was so insidious." Fred stretched out his hand and patted off the dead leaves and rot on his body, and by the way, used a descaling spell on himself.
"Others are not stupid, so they will naturally find a way to counter our tactics."
"Let's go, go back, I'm hungry!" Albert greeted the twins after waking Lee Jordan up.
"I've always been curious, how did you see through our disillusionment spell?" Lee Jordan couldn't help asking, "Is our disillusionment spell really that bad?"
"As I said before, magic always leaves traces. The Disillusionment Curse is of no use to a skilled wizard, especially if the other party is on guard." Albert took the lead and walked out of the Forbidden Forest.
"I remember you seem to have said that Professor Moody's magic eye can see through objects and see through invisibility." George suddenly looked at Albert and asked expectantly, "Can you make something similar."
"Are you going to change your eyes?" Fred turned his head and looked at his brother: "Or are you going to use it for other things?"
"I can't for the time being, and I don't know the principle of the magic eye. If glasses with similar effects can be made, that would be quite remarkable. Next time, I will ask others to see if they know the principle of the magic eye. "
"Actually, I'm even more curious. Since Professor Moody has such magic eyes, why is he subdued and controlled?" Lee Jordan asked his own doubts. If he finds that there are enemies trying to invade his home , you can leave in the first time!
"If I apparate immediately, the opponent will definitely not be able to catch Professor Moody." George is also aware of the blind spot. If he has the magic eye of Professor Moody, he doesn't have to worry too much about being attacked.
"Maybe, Apparition is forbidden in Professor Moody's house." Albert remembered that they seemed to have discussed this before, "Maybe, Professor Moody thought he could subdue the opponent, so he stayed to fight the enemy, you know, He has that magic eye, and he has a lot of combat experience, so he has a great advantage."
"However, according to your statement, Professor Moody was subdued by the other party."
"Yes, he was subdued. Maybe his old age and inconvenient hands and feet made his combat power not as good as before, but as the most powerful Auror of that era, his ability is still not weak, which means that the enemy is very powerful, or, The enemy has attacked Professor Moody by surprise."
"Sneak attack? But how could he be attacked?"
"Stupid, what Albert means is that there is more than one enemy." George patted Lee Jordan's shoulder vigorously, and explained for Albert: "When Professor Moody's attention was attracted by the first enemy, someone Attack him quietly from behind, and with a stun spell, you can easily subdue him."
The three of them suddenly understood why Albert had to train them how to attack others and prevent them from being attacked.
From the very beginning, Albert realized that confronting the dark wizard head-on was not a good idea, so he was helping everyone find a way.
When the four of them returned to the castle, they found that the foyer was full of people. A large group of students were crowded around the big notice, as if they were reading the latest news.
"What the **** are you doing!"
A stern voice sounded from behind them. It was Filch, who was hugging his cat, glaring angrily at the few people who had just entered the castle because they left clear mud footprints on the ground.
"Sorry sir."
Albert stopped Fred who was about to speak, "We'll clean up the footprints right away."
As he spoke, he raised his wand and waved it towards the mud footprints, making them disappear.
"No exception." Filch actually let them go just like that.
"It's a strange thing, when did Filch become so easy to talk." Fred said puzzled.
"Of course he's not that easy to talk to."
"What magic did you use to make our Mr. Administrator change his mind?" George asked curiously, thinking he could try it next time.
"Confusion Curse." Albert led them into the crowd, and soon squeezed to the big notice, and saw the text on it:
Triwizard Tournament
Representatives from Beauxbaton and Durmstrang will arrive at 6pm on Friday 30 October. The afternoon class will end half an hour earlier. At that time, please send your schoolbags and textbooks back to the dormitory, gather in front of the castle, meet our guests, and then attend the welcome banquet.
"There is still one week." Fred turned to George and said, "Should we take out the stored aging agent and sell it?"
"I bet you won't be able to sell that crap." Lee Jordan said firmly, "There are very few students in Hogwarts who have the courage to participate in the Triwizard Tournament. Everyone knows themselves. If you don't believe me, you can ask Check out the seventh years at Gryffindor House and see if any of them would like to take part in the competition."
"Is it true that no one in our academy plans to participate in the competition?" Harry, who was about to leave after reading the big announcement, couldn't help asking.
"I heard that Cedric wants to participate in the selection of warriors. I hope that the warriors of Hogwarts will not be that little boy."
Ron's words immediately aroused the glares of the surrounding Hufflepuff students.
"Don't be silly Ron, the Hogwarts champion must be Albert, even the professors think so." Hermione looked at Ron with a strange look, as if she didn't understand why he would say such an idiot talk.
"Baby Ronnie, if you want to participate in the Triwizard Tournament warrior selection, we can help you." Fred put his hand on Ron's shoulder and said with a smile.
"Don't call that name." Ron slapped Fred's palm angrily.
"Harry, do you want it?" Fred turned his head and looked at Harry who was hesitant to speak: "Don't worry about losing face, some guys don't even have the courage to try."
As he spoke, Fred glanced contemptuously at Draco Malfoy, who was not far away among the Slytherin students. He had just heard that guy speak ill of Albert.
"Aging agents will definitely not be able to fool those referees, maybe they will directly use your birthday list to compare your ages to screen." Hermione felt that drinking aging agents was a bad idea.
"No, we got inside information about how the Triwizard Tournament selects warriors." George said mysteriously.
"In what way?" Hermione asked curiously.
Fred and George looked at each other, rubbed their hands together and said, "If you want to know the information in advance, you can buy it with Galleons. It's not expensive. Just one Galleon, we can also provide you with a guarantee that you will be able to participate in the selection of warriors." way, only ten Galleons in total."
"You guys are stealing money." Ron glared at Fred and George angrily.
"Do you really have a way to let students participate in the selection?"
"Of course, but whether we can be selected is not something we can decide." Fred said confidently: "Ten galleons are not expensive, and it can help students who want to participate in the selection to prepare in advance. If you are confident in yourself, remember to buy, if it doesn’t work, we can refund the money.”
"You really don't care about them?" Lee Jordan looked back at Fred and George in the crowd, and glanced at Albert beside him.
"Let them toss, let's go eat!"
